; 4
Yesterday was expected to be /:
bad day for the Association, hu
the clouds broke in the mornins
and the sun came out warm. BY
noon the Grand Stand began to fill
and the little town of Empire sent
up about hundred people, all with
season tickets.
THE POSTPONED RACE.
Just before the postponed race,
ID. Gree, a director of the Fair,
rode on the track in a carriage, and
was fined one bottle of wine by
Chamberlain. 1t was paid amid
great hilarity. The postponed race
was then called up, and Franklin
won in two successive heats, Belle
second.
COYOTE CoURsrNG.
A vast crowd had gathered to
see the coyote race. The trickey
animal was brought out in a box
and taken about 200 yards from the
Grand Stand, and liberated with
nose to the North. He took sniff
OF the sagebrush hills and Mr.. Vail
unloosened two 1.-the and wiry
Scotch thoroughbred hounds, which
made for their prey at once.
The coyote, which l.ad been ac-
customed to outrup all Ormsby
dogs, only looked over his shoulder
with a grin and trotted on, thinking
to have his usual fun with the dogs.
he presently quickened his gait,
and then broke into run, with the
dogs lessening the distance at every
leap. All of sudden the skinner
of the sagebrush began to realize
that some new kind OF a dog was
on his trail, and lit out like house
afire. He glided under the fence,
and as the dogs closed in, doubled
like flash and took the back track
amid yell from the crowd that
must have encouraged HIM NIGHTLY.
About thousand boys now Joined
the race, and the excitement ran
high.
The coyote got back on the track
again and suddenly turned at
right angles, evading the dogs and |
a cheer went up from the crowd, |
whose sympathies were with tine
native beast. The third time the
coyote doubled one of the dogs
was ready and had him by the
throat. The other dog nailed him
by the back of the neck and tossed |
him in the air. The crowd formed
round the animals yelling like wild
cats and the coyote fighting for his
life made the hair fly for few
moments and the dogs also began
to take liberties with his skin.
At Mr.. Wallis ranch it has been
customary for the Scotch hounds to
catch the coyote and play with him
until the mastiff comes up who
breaks his back with one bite. The
dogs kept on playing with their
captive and the crowd of boys grew
red IN the face yelling. The crowd
interfered with the dogs SO that
Vail finally took them off and the
coyote glided past the grand stand
and out through the restaurant,
leaving portion of his Fall clothes
along the way. The heat was
awarded the coyote.
THE INDIAN RACE.
Three Indian ponies we're enter
ed for mile dash and the two
head ones almost made dead heat.
A red man with . white cap won by
q nose and the judge announced,
George Tuf1y wins the heat, Gov
ernor Stevenson second, Farmer
distanced.''
